"Wake up!"
I felt a sharp pain on my face. I opened my eyes in a daze and saw Count D looking at me with a speechless expression. "Aren't you suspicious at all?"
"... What? What? What? What? "I was dumbfounded." Didn't I transmigrate back? "
"This is the child's ability to turn you into the person you want to be the most." Count D raised his hand. A butterfly was slowly opening and closing its wings on the back of his hand. "Don't you have any suspicions at all?!"
"Oh, I was wondering why I suddenly became so hardworking." I immediately became depressed. "Although I told myself that you wouldn't be willing to do this, I still couldn't help but lie to myself …"
"That's enough!" Count D pointed at me angrily. "Do you think I'm the kind of person who would casually kill people?!"
I asked in confusion, "... Aren't you?"
Wah, Count D hit my head!
"No, no, no, you're the kind pet shop owner who sells love and dreams. I was wrong, I'm sorry!"
Count D finally stopped and pinched his wrist. "Seriously, I don't know where to start with your dreams …"
"Why, why didn't you praise me? I just wanted to make myself work harder!" I wasn't convinced. "It's all Count D's fault. I worked really hard in the beginning, but you always said I couldn't do it well!"
"Am I wrong?!" Count D was about to spit fire. "Even Little Fatty doesn't eat the food you make!"
Me:!!!
A critical hit!
I collapsed on the sofa. I had no energy left in my body.
"How bad would the food taste if even Little Fatty doesn't eat it …" I muttered to myself. Little Fatty pulled my hair angrily. "I must improve myself …"
I fell into an unprecedented period of self-doubt. Every day, I mindlessly practiced my cooking skills, causing a pile of useless food to appear in the shop that no one would eat.
A few days later, Count D returned with a pet named Ah Che. After learning that this animal was the legendary Taotie, I tried my best to feed him the food I made.
"Just eat a little, Brother Ah Che. You're a Taotie anyway. You won't die if you eat it."
Ah Che flipped the bowl in my hand. "I'm going to eat you if you continue like this!"
"…" I looked at Ah Che pitifully. "Is it really that bad?"
"Really, just give up." Ah Che's face was bitter. "Although I'm the legendary Taotie who can eat anything, to me, delicious food is the most important thing."
The marketing failed!
I grimaced as I watched Count D introduce animals to a guest.
"These are all very ordinary." After Count D finished his introduction, the man said, "I heard that you have that kind of woman here, right?"
The smile on Count D's face slowly disappeared. "Our shop is a legal business. We don't buy or sell anything other than animals."
"Don't lie to me. I saw everything." The man stepped forward and grabbed Count D's wrist. "Look carefully. You're also a beauty. If you don't have anyone to introduce to me, why don't you …"
Originally, I was still sitting there and watching the man die (usually, this kind of character would die very quickly), but when he tried to molest Count D, I almost jumped up. I really wanted to throw this idiot out of the room!
In the end, the animals that were with me pressed down on me. I was so angry!
"Hey, don't you see what this man is doing?!"
"Oh, this is the 'product' in your shop?" The man glanced at me, then looked back at Count D with disinterest. He actually kissed him. "You're more to my taste."
Me:???
Count D's expression disappeared. He slowly pushed the man away and said with a half-smile, "I remember now. There is an animal that is very suitable for you. Please come with me."
"Hmph, if only you did this earlier," the man said proudly. "Hurry up and take me there!"
I watched the man walk in with pity. I felt humane sympathy for him.
Some people were still alive, but he was already dead.
I watched as the man followed Count D into the basement without knowing anything, then happily walked out with a dangerous-looking big sister. He even dared to tell Count D that he would come back to take care of his business again.
… Wow, it's not good to be alive, is it?
In the end, after the man left, Count D still had an expressionless face. The animals gathered around him and whispered. But Count D didn't help me. I didn't know what they were talking about.
I felt that although the man was wrong, he didn't deserve to die … But I couldn't say anything about Count D's expression. I felt that he would be even angrier if I said it. I might even become pet food with him …
When I recalled how that man had kissed Count D's lips just now, I couldn't help but feel angry. "… I want to kiss Count D too!" I said angrily.
Count D's eyes widened. When I felt like I said something strange, he bent down. "Oh, okay, okay. Here, I'll let you kiss me."
He was so good-looking. He was as delicate as a doll. He had a slender figure, and it was hard to tell if he was a man or a woman.
But he was also as distant as a doll. He would never grow old, and he would always wander around the world, never staying in one place for too long.
Sigh, I really liked Count D.
I smacked my lips and kissed him on the cheek. My heart was filled with happiness.
"Okay, now that we've sent away the annoying person, let's eat dessert." Count D opened the cabinet with a smile and took out a butterfly cake from the countless desserts he had. "Let's eat butterfly cake today."
"Will that annoying person live to see tomorrow?" I looked at Count D with narrowed eyes.
"Are you sympathizing with him?" Count D thought of something and his eyes curved into crescents. "I'm fine with it. But if he angers that young lady …"
… I suddenly admired Leo!
He watched people who offended Count D die in all kinds of miserable ways every day, and he was still so stubborn and fearless that he wanted to find evidence of Count D's crimes. What a spirit!
"Okay, don't worry about unimportant things. Open your mouth."
Me, "!!!"
Looking at the butterfly cake that Count D fed me, I opened my mouth and ate it in one gulp. I passed out instantly.
When I opened my eyes, I was in a primeval forest.
"Oh, you're awake," Count D said happily and pulled me up. "This is a rare opportunity. Let's go on a field trip."
“？？？” I looked at the large forest around me and was stunned. "I know, don't make fun of me. Is this a field trip?"
"Maybe we'll run into something." Count D pulled me along happily and started walking.
We passed through the forest and across the lake, and finally came to a large grassland. The entire grassland was shrouded in a boundless fog. We walked through it and finally saw a black shadow in the white fog.
It was a huge tree that led to the sky that I couldn't see the end of. The clouds were halfway up the tree, and the patterns on the bark alone were enough for me to stand on.
"In ancient China mythology, the center of the world is a tree." Count D walked over and placed his hand on the Jianmu tree. "Legend has it that it's the bridge that connects Heaven, Earth, Man, and God."
"I think this might be the most suitable for you." Count D reached out and touched the tree. "It took me a lot of effort to find this place."
… No, no!!!
Bro!!! Do you know what you found?!!! You spent a lot of effort, and you're saying it so casually?!!!
This, this is the Jianmu tree from countless prehistoric novels!!! How can you just put this thing out here? This doesn't match your identity as a Japanese comic!!!
"Who's here?" An astonishingly huge face looked down from the clouds. I felt dizzy and almost fainted.
"Your Majesty." Count D bowed respectfully. "We're here to find an answer. If you've existed since the beginning of Heaven and Earth, you'll definitely be able to give us the correct answer."
"It's been a long time since someone came here. I can't help but feel bored." The huge face sighed. "Tell me your question."
"I want to know what happened to this child."
The Jianmu tree looked at me.
What a mystical pair of eyes.
It was as if I could see the past, the future, a speck of dust, and the universe in his eyes.
"Ah, you're a seed."
"What?" I was dumbfounded. "I, I'm a seed?"
"No, you're carrying our seed," the Jianmu tree said. "That's why you're constantly traveling through time and space in search of an opportunity to germinate. When the seed germinates, it'll be the end of your journey."
"… In short, I'm a surrogate mother?" I couldn't help but touch my stomach.
"You're so rude!"
"It's fine. That's how it is by human standards," the Jianmu tree said. "Your question has been answered. You can go back now."
Everything in front of me gradually blurred. I blinked and found myself back in Count D's pet shop.
For a moment, I had mixed feelings.
… Originally, I only followed Count D because I wanted to pet Furry.
But I didn't expect that I would become a tree's surrogate mother.
… Oh, the ups and downs of life.
"You can't accept it?" Count D handed me a cup of hot tea. "Come, calm down."
"Hmm … I was wondering if I could stay here without any qualms." I jumped up and stood on the sofa, looking down at Count D. "Hurry up and call me His Majesty's mother! After all, I'm Jianmu's stepmother! "
Count D looked at me as if he was looking at an idiot again.
"Hurry up, I'm a rare plant!" I smiled viciously. "Now, hurry up and make me my favorite pet food!"
"I worried about you for nothing." Count D put down his cup and stood up. "What do you want to eat?"
"I want to eat fried rice." As soon as I thought about the delicious Egg-Fried Rice, I almost drooled. I looked at Count D expectantly.
Count D walked into the kitchen with a reluctant expression on his face. I took the opportunity to lift my shirt to check my stomach, but I didn't feel like I was pregnant at all.
